I have finished Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts twice.
But i wouldn´t consider it, as the hardest game of the 16-bit-era.
This title goes to Battletoads in Battlemaniacs.
I try to finish Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, since 31 years and still couldn´t pass the speed bike level.
To clarify just because i don´t consider Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, as the hardest game of the 16-bit-era doesn´t mean that it wasn´t challenging.
